Lloyd Banks Responds To DMX Saying He’s Not Lyrical & Trash: "He Begged To Work With Me"

[revan]

DMX clearly has had the better career and is a more impactful artist in hiphop. Lloyd Banks is one of the best lyricists of the last 15 years. I don't know why y'all want to take that from him. DMX for whatever reason is simply tripping.

DMX is arguing class
You guys are arguing talent

Ofcourse Banks is lyrical spitter like Fab and Cassidy. You have to listen to the word to get the full effect, but neither Fab,nor,Cass, nor Banks is at DMX level in terms of class. DMX is a high level artist when its all said and done. They guys Scoop mentioned and DMX are in a different class to Banks. Even though and I feel like I have to say it once again Banks is lyrical dude. He wont just tell you that he smokes a lot of weed or that he's really high no he'll tell you that lately he has been going through more trees than an Orangutan. He has been known for being nice.

so, a stream to say X is trash ? that nikka said X stole the style of k solo lmao. out

and then recite "DMX MY DOGS BITE" and say "you think this is lyrical?" wtf

I feel like some of yall are trolling but the responses are so sincere. Banks is a C tier artist compared to DMX, who was a legit super star in his prime. Banks, in his prime, wasn't even the hottest artist on his label. A far better vs would be 50 and DMX.

And I'm not even sure 50 would win that....so how the fukk is his lil man gonna win?

Fred.

The argument is whether or not Banks is a lyricist. Yes DMX is legend that's stating the obvious.

If we're talking bar for bar.. DMX isn't the one to question Banks skill on the mic. Theres no bias or slander.

You dont need to be a superstar to be lyrically better than somebody

 

[Bolzmark]

He didn't call him trash or say he's not a lyricist. He questioned Scoop calling him one. There's a difference.

C’mon. A reaction like that means he does not consider him a good lyricist and to an MC like Banks he might as well have called him trash.

As it's been said in this thread, X battled Jay. In his prime. And by most accounts, it was a tie.

So yeah, X can question whatever he wants.

And all the points I made were in relation to a Versuz battle, which was mentioned a few pages ago.

No lies told

 

[Lavish]

Nikkas panties really in a bunch over this shyt?

This is just his opinion.. who gives a fukk

 

[FreshAIG]

I hear you...but I don't think that's the case...I think he abruptly stopped Scoop and said "Lloyd Banks!?!?!?? A lyricist!????!?!??" to discredit his lyricism, it was basically like him saying "gtfoh Scoop".

If not, he would have handled it way differently. A simple "I'm not familiar with Banks stuff like that to agree or disagree" would have sufficed. And now that Banks is saying that he basically turned down DMX's request to do a record with him, for whatever reason, that confirms that DMX was being disrespectful for me.

I mean, this is DMX, if he has nothing else he has integrity...I doubt he would reach out to someone for a feature whose music/pen he isn't familiar with.

I mean he definitely could've said it less aggressively but it's DMX. Lol. He's never been exactly PC when it comes to stuff like that.

 

[FreshAIG]

C’mon. A reaction like that means he does not consider him a good lyricist and to an MC like Banks he might as well have called him trash.

Disagree but whatever. I've explained why a bunch of times already why not doing it again.

Good break down.

If we throw banks in 96-99 east coast rap world, does he put FEAR in any of his contemporaries on the mic?

Exactly ... it was odd the way Scoop wedged Lloyd fukkin Banks of all people amid the historically great , upper echelon , legendary lyricists he was naming .
